Ok I think you are right. Looks more like a Humming Bird Moth...…..Originally posted by Ross the fiddler View Post

Re: Bee-Fly
Definitely a Hummingbird Hawk-moth.
Beeflies are around for a short season in the spring whereas the moths only appear in summer.
The beefly tongue is not nearly as long and is held out straight ahead and those are not beefly antennae.

Must have been where the bent drinking straw design came from.
